ENGLISH VERSIONTo the peoples of Sardinia and of Switzerland Sign the petition promoting the independence of Sardinia and the future Democratic Republic of Sardinia’s request to join the Swiss Confederation (Confederazione Elvetica).

We want to explore the wish of Sards to follow a path out of the disaster of the current crisis towards economic prosperity, through the affirmation of Sardinia’s independence from Italy and the creation of an efficient system of local government and economic solidity.

Thanks to being an island and a strong cultural identity, the Sards’ desire for independence has always been strong, never more so than in these times of great uncertainty.

NOT SIGNING means that you trust the current political system to tackle and resolve problems which have remained unsolved election after election and which are now so serious as to bring an entire people to its knees and bring into question the Sards’ right to self-determination over their own island with its wonderful natural beauty.

Sardinia is one of the main targets in the Mediterranean for foreign financiers who buy up vast swathes of land to make a speculative profit, creating no benefits for the Sards except for short-term inconsequential jobs.

This irreversible process must be stopped as soon as possible.

We must react to escape from a crisis without solutions and to give ourselves a future. We believe that becoming independent and responsible for our own destiny is a goal on which all Sards can agree. The lack of experience of good government and the legacy of the inefficient and sick administration that we have had up to now leads us to consider looking for an expert partner who can show us how to create an effective, efficient and mature system of local government.

This partner is, we think, Switzerland.

Many Swiss have already said they support this idea, unofficially. Now let’s give an answer to ourselves and to our future partners.

Sign and get other people to sign!
